R33 GTR Series 3's came with the vents from factory.

Known as Series 3 Front Bar, they direct more air to the front mount intercooler.

R32 GTR's have this as well and is know as the Nismo Front Bar, applying the same purpose of direction more air to the front mount intercooler.

Ohk so its not from standard. I was worrying my GTR had an aftermarket bar or something because i could've sworn nearly every gtr has these vents at the front.

Series 3 Front Bars can be bought after purchasing the car and added on later.

That does not make it a "Genuine" Series 3.

My R32 GTR is just a base model but has Nismo Front Bar and Side Skirt but does not make it a "Genuine" Nismo Edition.

What the? Im worried mine isnt a series 3 anymore. Could you please help. Here is a photo24012011230ed.jpg

That is a Stock Front Bar.

Get VIN Number off the Blue Build Plate you have in the engine bay and post it here - http://www.skylinesa...ou-want-fasted/

Search 'FAST'

Hey Joe, also, unfortunately, the front splitter (black part below the bumper) looks like a Series 1 or 2 (like mine was). The Series 3 has a deeper front splitter with larger brake cooling ducts.

As above I think the N1 ducts were an option from 1995 (I have a Japanese brochure which shows them as part of the accessories I think) but every S3 I've seen has them.

Does your car have red trim (fleck) inside, or blue? Blue = S1 / 2, Red = S3.

Really appreciating all this help as i have held of events for the day to stay on here for further info. The interior has red stitching in the seats and the steering wheel! and there is no a lsd light

Your car may indeed be a series 3 but if it doesnt have the alsd it may not be a vspec.

If you can see your diff housing check if there are hydraulic lines running to either side of the diff at the top.

Damn don't think its a v-spec then. Im calling the previous owner and going to sort thing straight with him, Im worried it may not be a series 3 because i can't find any lights for the rear fog light (if it even has one) because they are ment to be on the series 3

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
